Thanks to ib134866 for his efforts on fixing the time, and cs@eleks for the replacement parts. I got IBs change working but wanted the rainbow effect on the time display and set off to modify the change. But I couldn’t get it to work reliably. I believe it’s a limitation in the clock’s API & serial interface. This is my first ESP8266 (or Arduino) and the device itself seemed pretty capable so in the end I replaced the elekstube controller board with the ESP8266 itself and rewrote a control system for the clock.

Since the device is a little network controller, I put a webserver in as the way to configure the device. E.g., once you know the clocks local/in-house ip address you can connect with your phone’s browser and configure the settings.
